- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion and fry for about 5-6 minutes, until soft. Add the chopped sage for the final two minutes of the cooking time.
- Put the bread slices into a food processor and blitz to a medium-fine crumb. Tip into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs, softened onion, grated apple and nutmeg to the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. The texture should be wet but not too mushy. Spoon the mixture into a 1 litre ovenproof dish and brush with a little more melted butter. Bake for 30 minutes until the top is a light golden brown colour.
- Heat a little extra butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the whole sage leaves for 1 minute. Put on top of the cooked stuffing to garnish.
